Soon after, the district’s Special Education Director wrote to Hester, saying “[I]n the absence of you voluntarily granting Lewis Cass ISD administration access to you[r] Facebook page, we will assume the worst and act accordingly."

To be fair she did post something that would get her fired if posted in a truly public setting. If the parent of a student was able to see this picture then it's hard to consider her Facebook profile private. If they had a screen shot of this photo on Facebook I doubt they would require her password to suspend her.

That being said I still think it is horrid that anyone would even think of asking for a Facebook password, and the "guilty until proven innocent" thing doesn't fly with me.

But it was not a public setting, so how is that relevant?

[thebigredjay]

Do you really consider Facebook a private setting?

[icebraining]

For the purpose, yes. They did need her password, didn't they?

I'm assuming she just deleted the photo and they were fishing for some kind of proof.
